Datadog Observability Pipelines enables you to cost-effectively collect, transform, and route logs, metrics, and traces from any source to any destination at a petabyte scale. Take full control of your observability data by making value-based decisions in your own infrastructure to optimize volume, flexibly route data, stay compliant, and standardize data.


Control costs, improve visibility

  • Cost-effectively ingest and process all of your logs, metrics, and traces with flexibility to route noisy data to low-cost storage and rehydrate data as needed
  • Reduce your total data volumes through rule-based sampling and aggregation without losing access to mission-critical KPIs and trends
  • Impose rule-based throttles and reactive routing strategies for spike protection

Simplify migrations, reduce lock-in

  • Orchestrate and monitor data delivery from any source to any destination, including on-prem locations
  • Adopt new technologies at your own pace without vendor lock-in
  • Automatically parse, enrich, and map data to the right schema
